Making It To The 4th Second ((LXXVII)

Prince EA’s Epic Message Will Make You Want to Save the World | Short Film Showcase, National Geographic

Youtuber and spoken word artist Prince Ea makes a powerful case for protecting the planet and challenges the human race to create a sustainable future.

It took almost 4.6 billion years of evolution for humanity to exist, and we have been around only for a tiny fraction of that time span — about 140,000 years or so. If you condense the Earth’s lifespan into 24 hours, then we have been here on this planet for just three seconds.

Three seconds, and look what we’ve done to the mother nature. We have increased the extinction of animals by 1000 times the normal rate. Species that have been here longer than us will be gone because of us.

With the speed of destruction that our progress is causing to mother earth, can humanity make it to the 4th second?

The 4th second does not belong to us.

It belongs to future generations. We owe it to them. The right
to consume food that’s safe, drink water that’s clean, breathe air that’s free of pollutants.

Better late than never, in 2015, 193 countries came together to do something about the sustainability of our planet. We gave ourselves 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to be achieved by 2030.

Three years into Agenda 2030, sustainability remains a far cry with a cumulative budgetary deficit of $7.5 trillion, which keeps increasing at the rate of $2.5 trillion / year. At this rate economics of SDGs appears to be impossible.

Sustainability cannot happen without the active participation of the private sector. In other words, governments alone cannot help mankind witness, in its full glory, the 4th second of its existence on planet earth.
The good news is, the awareness is all-time high. Activism is beginning to take its roots. Young talents like Prince EA are dedicating their skills to the cause. Corporates are increasingly supporting activism. Tech companies and non-profits are coming up with novel approaches to conquer sustainability. There's hope!

Together we can make it to the 4th second.

What will it take for me to be accepted in this project? I want to be part of the zerocash experiment. I am willing to give you my private owner key as proof of my sincerity towards diligent sharing of my sbd+steem with @prosperist.

@quadrillionaire: There had been many defaults in the past, so @sharonomics had been careful regarding inducting new participants. But once in a while if 2 or more regular @prosperist upvoters recommend a new participant, and the participant complies, he is accepted for the weekly pledges. So I am recommending that you be given a chance. Good luck :D

Second vote from me.👍
